I'm an avid listener to the Stephanie Miller Show, a morning progressive/liberal talk show syndicated out of KTLK in Los Angeles. There's been a hot debate about the sentencing and comparisons between Manning and Edward Snowden not to mention the epic shouting match about the NSA. My concern this morning: He, his, him.

There are so many larger issues involved but my focus normally goes to the individual and Chelsea is in a unique position. She's been through torture or treatment that nears it. She's entering into a military prison system for the majority of her adult years. Whatever remnants of control she had over her life are soon to be gone.

With her public announcement (which I could imagine was approved by a therapist), she's asserting the little control she might still hold. It's SHE. It's CHELSEA.

It's uncomfortable to play the Pro-noun Game but it's the least we can do for her.
